He seems to have an affinity for once-high-end cars which are now POS's.

Something that cost nearly 100k or more when it was new will always be a nice car. Sometimes cars that weren't even meant to be high-end still end up being the best-built car for the money. See: every BMW made before 1995.

You can talk about buying "unreliable" "money pit" cars all day long, or, you could actually do it.

I know where the DR30 is... It will have to be pried from the guy's cold dead hands.

PS Vad, the new owner of my wagon hasn't yet sold it for a poorly maintained supercar yet, I think we both made the right choice. In part due to the sale I am preparing to purchase a home, on the TOD, you are still welcome to visit, but please BYOPBACS (peanut butter and crack sandwich)

Vad buys them with salvage titles and structural rust (which is hard because he lives in California, but he manages).

Honest question, did you drive it? I think I was suckered into buying my S4 by the sound of it, it ended up being a pretty boring car.

It's funny you say that. I did drive it and it was a hell of a lot more responsive than the Volvo. Much lighter on its feet than the S60R, even with 3 TCLers + the seller on board. Still, I was ambivalent, since, on paper, the S60R and the S8 are pretty evenly matched, the mileage is similar, the MPG is similar, etc. The Volvo also "looks" newer.

Then, I spent the better part of an hour watching (listening to?) to S8+exhaust videos on YouTube . I think that sealed it.

This one was replayed many times:

I still have the M3 for canyon carving/track/fun stuff. The S8 seems like it would be a decent daily, especially with that noise. GOD THAT NOISE! THAT NOISE!

(I need a Kleenex)

You should shop it around. If Honey Boo Boo can have a show, so can you.

Sounds like The Truman Show. I think you've got something.

Hopefully. I've never had so much trouble finding a part for a car. Every A8/S8 being parted out has the bumper sold. The first reply is always "Do you have the front bumper?" Used bumper places are all out of stock. It's like these things are made out of gold.

With a full car for the test drive, did you guys act out some scenes from Ronin?

Any GoPro footage?

THIS!!!! Not only I'm crossing my fingers that you buy it, But you will get to have your own reality show based around doing menial daily tasks around town.... That is until you get on behnd the well of the S8 and the show is transformed into 60 minutes of Ronin type car chases.....
Show ends when you get home from the adventure style drive to the grocery shop, just to bring home a bag of Whiskas Cat food....
